Installation surveys

A surveying service that accelerate network build programmes.

The lack of qualified surveyors has long been another obstacle stalling the wayleave process and, ultimately, the progress of gigabit-capable infrastructure projects throughout the UK. We’ve therefore tackled this challenge head-on with the launch of our own surveying service.

Particularly helpful when working with MDUs, our surveyors create planning packs – as detailed as required – which empower freeholders and managing agents to better understand installation requirements and authorise wayleaves without delay.

Like all of our support, the surveying service is available individually or as part of an end-to-end package of expertise that continues to drive the digital future.

Enhanced efficiencies

By addressing the skills shortage, we’re protecting telcos from network build delays.

Bespoke planning packs

Every project is different, so our bespoke planning packs can be as concise or detailed as required.

Fully trained surveyors

By working closely with industry, we’ve ensured our surveyors are trained to the standard the UK really needs.
